The Truth of Magic

Chapter 25: True intelligence

Views:

As time went on, Zhao Xu finally discovered what he was worried about.

He might, really might not have that kind of talent.

When he wanted to play Arthur in his previous life, his roommate gave him some analysis. Although the mage had risen slightly, it was still too difficult for a novice like him, so he was recommended to be a warrior.

Therefore, Zhao Xu never knew whether he had the talent to learn spells.

Apart from the most basic intelligence, there is some kind of talent that no one can explain.

Otherwise, in the entire Arthur, any creature with 11 intelligence would be qualified to become a mage.

Even a month later, there will be hundreds of 18-point smart players. Because they have been unable to complete the novice mage training, they agreed to an incident where they deleted their accounts in anger, directly hitting the bottom of the number of new players who choose mage.

This study in Mystra Floating City was also Zhao Xu's first exposure to the mage course.

After everyone traveled through time in the previous life, everyone lost the privilege of deleting their account and starting over. No matter what account everyone used, they had to go down a dead end.

So Zhao Xu felt that he was struggling to get started, which made him feel a little conflicted.

It's like when the exam is about to be handed in, he hasn't painted the answer sheet yet, and he hasn't started on the last big question yet.

If only he could experience this bitter feeling by himself, Antinoya seemed to have nothing to do these days, just sitting quietly in his dormitory, waiting for his questions.

Not going anywhere, just teaching him like this, this feeling of others watching you being motionless is even more uncomfortable.

If he fully understood the structure of the spell, then he could still blame his "intelligent spellcaster" ability for unsuccessful copying.

Unfortunately, he didn't understand any of the nineteen zero-level spells.

At first, Zhao Xu thought it was because the spell direction was wrong. Unexpectedly, he changed five zero-level spells in a row and still didn't understand it.

Antinoya gave him a hint to feel the flow of those models, just like calligraphy, each stroke has its own depth and outline.

He can feel it, but he has never been able to connect it, just like he can't imitate the feeling.

"Teacher, how long have you been at this level?" Finally, Zhao Xu sighed and asked Antinoya about his past experience. He had seen enough introductions from other players in the past few days.

He delayed going online for an hour tonight just to read more strategy posts, but it was still of no use.

That layer of film is the difference between a natural chasm and a thoroughfare.

"Me? I was reading and copying at the same time."

"Teacher, don't you need to understand?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Understand? To me, they are as straightforward as words. What do I need to understand? It is not a first-level arcana. Because it involves risks, it is mandatory to study for 24 hours to offset this risk."

"Are there no zero-level spells?" Zhao Xu continued to ask.

"If there is, it is not a magic trick. These nineteen spells are exactly the nineteen safest simple spells we have screened out and studied. They are spells that cannot be exploded no matter how you play them."

Zhao Xu felt like a scumbag in school who met a top student.

He could only ask tactfully again, "Teacher, how many years have passed since you started learning magic before you officially came into contact with these zero-level spells?"

"Three years," Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu took a breath.

For others, it is a matter of course that they have accumulated over three years. Don't pursue too much of his quick achievements in a week.

This is why others can develop magic, but their players can only use magic.

All of Arthur's arcane magic and even some divine magic, all the ins and outs of his life are recorded one by one.

"But why can't I understand it?" Zhao Xu finally asked about his dilemma.

Upon hearing this, Antinoya chuckled: "You finally couldn't help asking?"

"Everyone in Arthur will be able to sense their own character cards after getting the 1st basic career level. Do you know this?"

Zhao Xu nodded, their players could see it even if they were not level 1.

Arthur's natives can only see character cards after reaching level 1, and can obtain more modules as they level up.

In other words, in Arthur's world, every adventurer has a character card system.

This is why we can quantify levels, expertise, professional abilities, etc.

This has never been a secret.

"The system of your players' six major attributes, strength, agility, physique, charm, and perception can make up for it for you. Even if your perception is low, your feelings are what the system tells you, so it can simulate your attribute panel. Perceived value.”

"Only intelligence, the system has not evolved for you."

"The real you don't have 16 points of intelligence, so naturally you can't understand it quickly."

Only then did Zhao Xu understand.

In other words, intelligence is something shared by both the player's Earth and Arthur. It is understandable that the player's charm and perception are inconsistent in the two worlds.

But if you find that you are smarter in Arthur, or that you will become smarter after playing games, then everything will be revealed.

This is also the reason why Arthur's only intelligence did not improve them.

It turns out that this is the reason why the mage group has been stuck for so long.

The average human intelligence is 10 points, and the normal distribution of intelligence is 8-12 points, which is the range of the majority of people. Zhao Xu guessed that he would only be able to survive at 13.

As for levels 16, 17, and 18, they are all top-notch smart people with photographic memories, and their numbers are naturally extremely rare.

Some people can't learn the mage life and death, and setting 18 points of intelligence is useless, because if the real intelligence does not have 11 points, the system will definitely not be able to understand it without helping to improve it.

I'm afraid most people in Arthur can't understand this fact now. Only legendary powerhouses like Antinoya can understand it.

"Teacher, I accept the fact that I am not that smart in the first place. Is there any remedy?" Zhao Xu admitted that his real intelligence was not 16 points.

"Of course there is a way." Antinoya smiled, as if he was happy that Zhao Xu thought he was stupid.

"Then let me ask you, why do you need to understand?"

"I don't understand how to copy it into my heart?" Zhao Xu became even more confused.

"You just know how to dodge when a sword is coming. Why should you be smart enough to know where it's coming from?"

Zhao Xu was suddenly shocked. He seemed to have touched some kind of threshold, but he was just like a beginner in swimming. He had never been able to kick out that leg and learn to really swim.

Seeing Zhao Xu's frown, Antinoya knew exactly what problem he encountered.

"You're on a river. You don't have to be able to swim. You can just go down the river in a boat."

Seeing that Zhao Xu had not responded yet, she could only speak more bluntly, "Just follow the waves one stroke at a time."

Take advantage of the situation!

Zhao Xu realized it immediately, and he quickly turned to the first page of the "Encyclopedia of Zero-Level Spells".

All additional text was forgotten by him.

He only had those models on his mind.

Suddenly, everything felt like a living thing, and the entire model began to change.

Zhao Xu's heart also danced along with it, and his pen moved like a dragon or a snake.

"Reading Magic" is transcribed.

"Detect Magic" was transcribed successfully.

The "Dancing Light Technique" was also copied successfully.

"Magic Trick" completes the transcription.

In the end, all nineteen zero-level spells were copied into the depths of his heart, interlaced and flashing like mysterious paintings.

If someone were standing by, they would definitely be stunned. Someone could actually copy nineteen zero-level spells in one breath!
